He missed 5 games last year because of a freak accident caused by a POS left guard. His biggest problem is that his O line can't stay healthy.

It says Mike Tirico will take over for Al Michaels in 2023 and the implication is that they want Brees to spend a season calling Notre Dame games first. That sounds to me like maybe Brees could still play the 2021 season before the broadcasting plan has to start.

What an upgrade of Collinsworth.

How strange is it that ESPN hasn't attracted big names for it's MNF show?

We used to get Al Michaels and John Madden. Now it's Booger and 30 penalty flags.

I guess I'll have to start watching football on Monday night again.

Guess there's a slim chance Brees goes full Witten and works horribly as a commentator then unretires, right?

Lol

I really hope Drew does well because that was awful for Witten. The whole MNF crew has been garbage for the last several years, but oddly enough I still like them more than Troy and Buck.

I’m actually in genuine disbelief...where have the years gone?!

I seriously doubt Brees will be doing games. How could he say something like Subway Halftime report when he owns all those Jimmy Johns. Not gonna happen. I'm thinking his own show or in a bunch of segments.
